Chapter 570 - The Second Superior Legendary (Part 1)

When Squirrel God rushed to Lu Ran’s location, a spatial storm that even Legendary beings found alarming was raging there. Squirrel God, who had traveled using a spatial skill, nearly got caught in it.

Luckily, just as Squirrel God was about to collide with it, Baby Cloud took a deep breath and sucked in the spatial storm, turning it into a Calamity Core.

“Damn!” Landing on the island, Squirrel God was filled with lingering fear.

Before it could even ask what was happening, the gravity of the Stellar Moon World seemed to pull a meteorite from beyond the sky, which crashed down towards the island with a thunderous roar, making Squirrel God look up with a confused expression.

“Holy shit!”

A meteorite this large was enough to alter the ecosystem of the Stellar Moon Continent completely. It was no less powerful than the self-destruction of a Legendary life form. Squirrel God’s vision went dark. However, once again, before the meteorite could land, as it passed through a peculiar cloud layer, it was enveloped and devoured, becoming a rock Calamity Core.

The Stellar Moon Federation Disaster Warning Center had detected the nascent forms of multiple Legendary-level disasters within a short period. Although their origins were in remote, uninhabited areas, if they had fully materialized, the Stellar Moon Federation would inevitably have been affected.

“Ignore them.” The Mechanical Leader personally descended upon the disaster center and issued the order.

What is that guy up to now?

The Mechanical Leader had received notification from Lu Ran, which was why he intervened with the Disaster Warning Center. The Mechanical Leader felt a headache coming on and was completely frustrated. To him, Stellar Moon was like his own daughter, and Lu Ran was that delinquent who forced himself upon her, which was really distressing.

Why can’t he just stay put in his Blue Planet instead of always running around Stellar Moon?

Unfortunately, the Stellar Moon Federation currently had no means to restrain Lu Ran and could only let him come and go as he pleased. The only Stellar Moon human who might be stronger than Lu Ran was Peanut, but she was also on Lu Ran’s side, leaving the Stellar Moon Federation feeling powerless.

“What’s with that expression? I’m just feeding Baby Cloud.’

Lu Ran stood on the constantly shaking ground, looking at Squirrel God’s stunned expression as he spoke.

After devouring various Legendary disasters, Baby Cloud’s level quickly reached level 90, and it continued to gain nutrients to alter its own potential.

“Who feeds like that?” Squirrel God complained.

I almost died!

“Let’s not worry about Dark Crow and Baby Cloud for now. Let’s talk about the elemental gods.”

Squirrel God’s expression shifted. “Fine. You’re sure you’re not making up orders, right? Let me ask one more time.”

Lu Ran said, “No. Actually, it’s not just for me. Even if they are just projections, the eyes of the Four Supreme Divine Dragons can gaze into the future. Among them, the Space Dragon saw your future diligence and earnest work attitude. Actually, this is also a reward for you.”

“

Huh?

”

Lu Ran said, “Which seal do you think is more powerful? The one sealing the ten elemental rulers, or the seals you used, borrowing the Divine Dragons’ power, to seal the Evil God and the Demonic Space God?”

“After becoming a Space Dragon kin, the Space Dragon ordered me to keep watch over the elemental gods’ seal. I’ve studied it carefully. Of course, the sealed state of the elemental gods, sealed by the hands of the Four Divine Dragons, is more intact. Even after several eras, it’s still relatively stable.

“This is unlike my situation, where the Demonic Space God escaped, or Ghost Mother’s situation, where the Evil God is about to break out. As expected of the Four Divine Dragons.” Squirrel God clenched its fist.

Lu Ran said, “See? If you can personally attempt to undo the Divine Dragons’ seals this time, you can gain a lot of experience in the process!”

Dark Crow turned to look at Lu Ran.

What a grandiose promise.

As expected of my king, telling a Divine Dragon kin to abuse its power for personal gain.

Under Bai Ze’s blessing, Lu Ran’s words as a king were quite persuasive, treading towards becoming a deception divine skill, making Squirrel God swallow hard and begin to anticipate becoming stronger.

“Then when do we start?” Squirrel God asked impatiently.

Lu Ran looked at Baby Cloud. “Not yet.”

He held the Elemental Law trait crystal, took a deep breath, and said, “Wait for Baby Cloud to evolve first!”

***

Several days later, the federation finally stopped detecting Legendary disaster fluctuations. That was because the curse power within the World Curse Stone had been completely used up by Dark Crow. Using an entire Legendary artifact to curse Baby Cloud only made Baby Cloud fatter.

After that, Lu Ran finally gave the Elemental Law trait crystal to Baby Cloud to fuse with. The entire process caused some special changes to occur throughout the Stellar Moon World.

The long-dormant Elemental Era began to revive. It wasn’t like that time in the Mechanical Era ascension realm, where technology was used to create elemental lifeforms. Rather, as Baby Cloud broke through this time, the birth of an elemental Intermediate Legendary began to affect the world’s rules, altering their operation.

Subtly, Baby Cloud sensed that in many places rich in elements, it seemed there were signs of elemental lifeforms about to be born. However, encountering this situation, Baby Cloud quickly suppressed this phenomenon that could change the era.

They cannot be born! Cannot be born! Cannot be born!

Unlike that time in the Blue Planet’s Amazon when Six-Path Flower’s breakthrough caused countless plants to gain intelligence. The Amazon Empire was already under the control of Six-Path Flower and Lu Ran. Coupled with the generally low strength of Transcendent creatures on Blue Planet, countless plant lifeforms beginning to evolve wasn’t a problem.

However, in Stellar Moon, Baby Cloud was certain that shortly after these newborn elemental lifeforms were born, they would definitely be eaten by powerful non-human species, with no time to develop, directly falling from the strongest species to a resource species.

Since these elemental lifeforms were born because of it, Baby Cloud didn’t want them to be eaten right after birth. It had to take responsibility.

Even if they are to become food, they should at least grow up first. Isn’t it better for me to eat them myself? At least it wouldn’t be a waste.

Nearby, Lu Ran, who was mentally connected with Baby Cloud, sensed its thoughts. He initially thought Baby Cloud had grown up and intended to shoulder its responsibility.

Damn it, you’re just thinking about eating them yourself? Is there not a single good-hearted familiar in my own team? It’s all Dark Crow and the others’ fault for corrupting Baby Cloud.

Lu Ran shook his head.

[Species Rank: Intermediate Legendary]

[Level: 90]

[New Species Talent: Divine Position Plunder (Can plunder the authority over the world’s elemental rules from other lifeforms.)]

But regardless, relying on its third-stage evolution, Baby Cloud had finally become the third familiar on the team to reach Intermediate Legendary or above in its normal state.

Baby Cloud’s breakthrough made the nearby Squirrel God extremely envious. “Wow.”

Baby Cloud is only a few years old and is already an Intermediate Legendary... I’m getting jealous.

“Squirrel God, what was your species rank before becoming a kin? How come the Space Dragon and the others have cultivated to Intermediate Legendary, but you’re still only a Low Legendary?” Lu Ran asked, making Squirrel God go crazy.

“It’s different! Space dude has to fight often. Fighting yields resources. Having resources means you can strengthen yourself. It adds up over time! But look at me and Sister Divine Deer. One deals with enemies by sealing them away; the other’s work is healing nature. It’s all output, no income! We’re broke! And we can’t actively kill or take on side jobs!

“Most importantly... back then, with the Divine Dragons watching over us, cultivating hard was meaningless.” Squirrel God muttered.

Who knew the Divine Dragons would disappear?

Lu Ran curled his lip.

This squirrel is just as lacking in ambition as the old turtle.

Nearby, Baby Cloud, who had just broken through, flew over to thank Dark Crow for its companionship and help these past few days.

—Thank you, Uncle Crow.

Dark Crow waved its wing, discarding the curse stone, and said with a wicked smile, “No problem. It’s not like I didn’t gain anything either.

Caw, caw, caw.

Assisting you with training this time, I also benefited greatly

.

Maybe in the future, we can partner up like Six-Path Flower and Captain Doofus, forming a Dark Cloud combo!”

Baby Cloud’s eyes lit up, quickly asking Dark Crow if it had comprehended some ultimate move that uses elemental power. Dark Crow nodded calmly and shared the skill it had comprehended during this time with Baby Cloud through a Spiritual Speech description.

[Skill: Eliminating the Scourge for Heaven]

[Effect: Can use lives that defy the world’s will as sacrifices to exchange for greater affinity with the world’s rules.]

This was Dark Crow’s feeling after frequently using curse power to curse Baby Cloud, and then Baby Cloud, in turn, eliminated the world’s curse. It felt that if it had helped the world’s will eliminate Baby Cloud at that time, it could have become closer to the world’s will. Thus, Dark Crow named it Eliminating the Scourge for Heaven.

Baby Cloud pointed at itself.

—

I was the sacrifice?

Dark Crow nodded.

The full name for the Dark Cloud combo was “The Crow Sacrifices Baby Cloud to Make Itself Stronger Combo.”

Hearing this, Baby Cloud grimaced.

***

The first phase of Baby Cloud’s training plan concluded. During this process, #18 finally squeezed Hel dry. Since Hel was currently not in good condition, Lu Ran didn’t directly let her leave but placed her in #18’s nutrient tank to help her recuperate.

As for Lu Ran and the others, they finally followed Squirrel God on the journey to undo the elemental gods’ seals. At this moment, their first target was the Ice Goddess.

Among the eight elemental rulers, the Ice Goddess was neither strong nor weak, but rather of medium strength. Most importantly, Lu Ran had direct combat experience with her, making her the most suitable for inferring the situation of the other elemental gods.

Soon, Lu Ran and Squirrel God descended on an ice plain, walking in the bitter wind. It wasn’t that the Ice Goddess was sealed in an icy environment, but rather, this area had become icy and snowy because it sealed the Ice Goddess.

Other regions sealing elemental gods were similar, almost all being natural elemental-rich forbidden zones for life. Even if these sealed elemental gods didn’t leak power, the natural environment would resonate with them.

Arriving outside the Ice Goddess’s sealed space, for safety’s sake, Squirrel God decided to let Lu Ran take the risk. “We definitely can’t just release them directly. I can try to open a small crack from the outside and send you in. Is that okay?”

Lu Ran played with the Flame Spirit, making a fire to warm himself, and said, “Look at how timid you are. Send us in. I’ll show you how to easily handle the Ice Goddess. She’s just a Superior Legendary.”

“I just don’t want the combat fluctuations to affect Stellar Moon!” Squirrel God said seriously.

After all, this was a task handed down by the Four Divine Dragons. Squirrel God had to be careful, careful, and more careful.

Lu Ran coughed dryly. “Maybe there won’t even be a fight.”

At the same time, in the silent, sealed space, faint ice crystals drifted down. An ice lifeform covered in wounds, extremely weak and feeble, slept on the snowy ground. Combined with the desolate environment, the entire space was like an ice coffin.

Crack.
